Robot Bartender for the Home

What better application of robot technology can there be than serving man a beer?

Asahi Breweries (Creating New Levels of Satisfaction) just announced a special promotion for their low-malt beer. They've designed a robot beer refrigerator and will be giving away a total of 5,000 of the robots, fully stocked with beer, to applicants selected by a lottery drawing.

Push the robot's start button and it opens the can, tilts the glass, and pours the beer with a perfect head every time. The refrigerator section of the robot can cool six 350 ml cans and two beer mugs.
